It’s in between the pages of my journal where my most precious moments with you live. It’s here in pictures where we spent the day like it’s our last. It’s in the songs of our playlist, where we convey feelings that are sometimes too hard to say.

                Taeyeon smiles as she listens to the playlist one last time, tears continuously streaming down her face as time spent with him flashes through her mind like a movie. And as she sorts through the countless photos in the box, she can’t help but feel emptiness in her heart. A certain emptiness that was once filled by the person in the photographs.

                “Baby?” a knock startles her, quickly wiping away the tears that can’t seem to stop from flowing out. “I’m sorry, I was just sorting through some stuff.” She emits a soft chuckle, in hopes of uplifting her spirit. Taeyeon feels warm arms around her petit frame, immediately putting her at ease. He then moves to sit in front of her, his arms never straying away from her waist, “C’mon noona, hyung wouldn’t want to be kept waiting.” He pecks her forehead lovingly, wiping away the tear streaks on her face and tucks the stray hair behind her ear. Taeyeon blushes and smiles at him for the sweet gesture, she then nods and takes one last look at the photographs and her journal before putting them back into the box.

                She looks at the box’s contents one last time, and is taken surprised when a warm hand holds hers tightly. Looking into the other’s eyes, which hold nothing but love and encouragement towards her, she feels something familiar. She feels the same selfless love she has felt before, the same dedicatation it took to wait for her to open up and see that she's never alone. And though those eyes she is looking into now are not the same with which she has stared into all those years before, she can't help but feel the same amount of love and adoration that is directed towards her—maybe even more.  More so the emptiness that once weighed heavily in her heart, doesn't feel as heavy anymore. Taeyeon smiles at the brief realization and leans forward to kiss her significant other hoping it would make up for the lack of words to convey what she feels towards him. Love, gratitude and a bit of guilt. 

                Oppa, are you listening? Have I fulfilled your wish? You know I’ll always love you right? You’ll always be my first everything, and I’ll always be forever grateful of having the privilege to have had you in my life. You taught me to stand up, when the whole world was forcing me against the ground. You encouraged me to chase after my dreams, even when the world told me it’s far bigger than I’ll ever be. You’ve taught me a lot of things oppa, and surprisingly one of those is to love again. I’ve opened my heart again oppa, I’ve learned to let things be because I remember you telling me there’s always a bigger purpose behind even the smallest accidents. Thank you for everything oppa. There’s just one last thing I ask before I move to the next chapter. I’d like your blessing on giving my heart for one last time to this man I now hold dear. I’d like him to be my last, like how I was for you.
